"Roughly speaking, all radio
batteries fall into two claeses.
These are, wet, or storage and
dry," spates Joe. Williamson, Wil
lard dealer- Storage batteries
when run down, can be. charged
and placed in service again. Dry
batteries when discharged are use
less and have to be discarded, i
The first thing for the new
comer in radio- to decide is
whether he prefers to pay the
higheroriginal cost of storage bat
teries and have the benefit of
long life power plant at lowjup
keep cost of whether; he desires
to keep replacing dry batteries as
fast as they wear, Put..- When this
choice is made, the next step is -to
get the correct voltages in bat
teries. ' ' .
Certain radio tubes are rated
at lower voltages than others.
Storage batteries are not always
used with these tubes, butthey
will work better on storage bat
teries, providing the correct volt
ages are employed. - j '
- The filaments in peanut tubas
are designed to - burn on -2 volts
or less. - High, voltages may burn
out the- filaments and'raiit the
tubes. . At any rate, higher volt
ages will shorten the life- of the
tubes without contributing to their
efficiency during life. Special
storage battetftes are built -for the
most efficient operation of these
IowvoltageHubes. J:'"""
In choosing battef ies, "be guided
by the "voltages recommended by
the maker or designtxl of the set
